Researchers at the University of Tokyo and National Institute of Radiological Sciences have designed a way to detect the absolute oxygen concentration in patients’ bodies,…
Melanoma cells create more nuclear pores (green) than normal cells. The scientists showed that blocking the formation of nuclear pores selectively killed cancer cells, revealing…
The physical structures of cancer cells are disrupted by a web forming inside of the cells – which activates their self-destruction mechanism. Credit: MPI-P According…

Prostate biopsy with cancer probability (blue is low, red is high). This case was originally diagnosed as benign but changed to cancer upon further review.…
“While older patients and those with major comorbid conditions are at substantially increased risk of dying from COVID-19, our early findings are encouraging news for…
Tocilizumab shows promise in addressing COVID-19 symptoms for people with blood cancers. A case study of a patient in Wuhan, China, suggests that the immunosuppressant…
Identification of cancer status for more than 50 cancer types, as well as tissue of origin localization, from a single blood draw. Cell-free DNA is…
Illinois researchers found that crumpling graphene in DNA sensors made it tens of thousands of times more sensitive, making it a feasible platform for liquid…
Advances in treatment have led to the largest yearly declines in deaths due to melanoma ever recorded for this skin cancer, results of a new…
This diagram shows the immune signaling pathways activated by Bifidobacteria after they migrate into tumors from the gastrointestinal tract. This enhances the response to immunotherapy…

In a new study, WVU researcher Nancy Lan Guo found that exposure to airborne printer-emitted particles correlated to genetic and metabolic changes in animal models.…
A large, carefully analyzed new study links red and processed meat consumption with slightly higher risk of heart disease and death. Eating Red Meat and…
Cancer cells become invisible to the body’s immune response. Unhindered by T cells (green), they can continue to replicate. Scientists have now described an important…
Antianxiety and Antidepressant Effects From a Single Dose of Psilocybin Persist Years Later in Cancer Patients Following up on their landmark 2016 study, researchers at…
